This Privacy Policy describes how teio, Corp. (“teiō,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and shares personal information when you visit teio.ai, use our client portal at portal.teio.ai, or engage with us under a Master Services Agreement. By using our website or Services, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or Services.
This policy covers personal information we collect as a controller — for example, information about prospects, website visitors, and our own client contacts. When we process data on behalf of a client under an engagement (“Client Data”), we act as a processor and the client’s own privacy notice governs that processing. Our handling of Client Data is governed by Section 7 of our Master Services Agreement.
1.Who we are
teio, Corp. is a Delaware corporation operating at teio.ai and portal.teio.ai. We are an AI services firm. For privacy questions, contact hello@teio.ai.
2.Information we collect
Information you provide
We collect information you give us directly, including:
- Contact details — name, work email, company, role, phone number, when you submit a contact form, request a proposal, book a meeting, or correspond with us.
- Account information — authentication identifiers from our sign-in provider when you sign in to portal.teio.ai or admin pages, including email, name, and profile photo URL.
- Engagement information — proposal responses, change requests, comments, approvals, and other content you submit through the client portal.
- Communications — the contents of emails, meeting transcripts (where you have consented to recording), and chat messages exchanged with us.
- Website forms — your work email, name, company and a line about what you need when you book a call on teio.ai (we save the email as soon as you enter it, so we can follow up if you do not finish), and your email when you subscribe to our newsletter, EaseIn.ai.
Information collected automatically
- Usage data — pages viewed, links clicked, referrer, approximate location derived from IP, browser and device characteristics. We collect this via product analytics (PostHog) and our own server logs. On teio.ai, analytics runs only after you accept analytics cookies.
- Log data — request metadata (timestamp, route, status code, request ID, user agent) for security, debugging, and abuse prevention.
- Cookies and similar technologies — session cookies set by our sign-in provider to keep you signed in, preference cookies, and analytics cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser, though some parts of the Services will not work without them.
Information from third parties
We may receive limited information from publicly available sources or service providers (e.g., enriched company information for prospects, calendar metadata from Google Calendar when you book a meeting with us, meeting recordings and transcripts from our meeting notetaker where a participant has enabled recording).
What we do not collect
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. We do not collect government identifiers, payment card numbers, biometric data, or precise geolocation. We do not sell personal information.
3.How we use information
We use personal information to:
- Deliver and operate the Services, including the client portal and proposal flow;
- Respond to inquiries and provide customer support;
- Send transactional communications (proposal updates, change-request notifications, billing statements);
- Send occasional marketing communications about our offerings — you can unsubscribe from any marketing email at any time;
- Improve and develop our Services, including our software and AI skills, using aggregated and de-identified usage data;
- Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.
4.Legal bases for processing (EEA / UK)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal information under one or more of the following legal bases:
- Contract — to perform our agreement with you or to take steps at your request before entering into one.
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve our Services and to communicate with prospects and clients, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Consent — for non-essential cookies, marketing communications where required, and meeting recordings.
- Legal obligation — to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
6.Security
We maintain commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Measures include encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest where technically feasible, role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication for systems containing sensitive data, structured audit logging, and regular security updates. No system is perfectly secure; if we become aware of a breach affecting your information, we will notify you and any required regulators without undue delay and in accordance with applicable law.
7.Data retention
We retain personal information for as long as is necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specifically:
- Account and engagement records — for the duration of the engagement plus seven (7) years for tax and contractual recordkeeping.
- Marketing contacts — until you unsubscribe or request deletion, plus a short suppression-list retention so we honor your opt-out.
- Server logs and analytics — typically up to 24 months in identifiable form, then aggregated or deleted.
- Backups — retained per our standard backup-and-deletion cycles and remain subject to the confidentiality obligations of our agreements.
8.International data transfers
We are based in the United States, and our infrastructure providers process personal information primarily in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms approved under applicable data protection law.
9.Your rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have rights under applicable data protection law to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you;
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Delete personal information, subject to legal exceptions;
- Restrict or object to certain processing;
- Port your information to another provider in a structured format;
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@teio.ai. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We do not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights.
10.US state privacy rights
If you live in California or another US state with a consumer privacy law, this section applies to you in addition to the rest of this policy.
- What we collect — identifiers (name, email, phone), professional information (company and role), commercial information (proposals and engagements), internet activity (pages viewed and links clicked, after consent on teio.ai), and audio or video recordings of meetings where recording is enabled. Sources and purposes are described in Sections 2 and 3, and retention in Section 7.
- No sale or sharing — we do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you. We honor Global Privacy Control signals as an opt-out of any sale or sharing.
- Your rights — you may ask to know and access the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, and to delete it. You may use an authorized agent; we will ask the agent for proof of authority and may verify your identity directly. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. Email hello@teio.ai.
12.Children
The Services are intended for business use and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact hello@teio.ai and we will delete it.
13.AI features and meeting recordings
We use AI systems to deliver Services and to operate internal workflows (for example, classifying messages, drafting responses, and summarizing meetings). Where we use a third-party model provider to process information you submit, we use providers that contractually agree not to train their models on our or our clients’ data unless we explicitly opt in. Meeting recordings and transcripts are created only where a participant has enabled recording and notice has been given to attendees in accordance with applicable law.
14.Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy at teio.ai/privacy and updating the “Effective” date above. For material changes that affect how we use information you have already provided, we will give you advance notice where required by law.
